Tess & The Details Punk Up Flashdance Anthem “Maniac”

San Francisco’s Tess & The Details are gearing up for their most ambitious year yet. They’ve teamed up with Wiretap Records for a cover of Michael Sembello‘s anthem from Flashdance, Maniac, which will be followed by fresh original music and an aggressive touring schedule. The single is now available via streaming platforms and is accompanied by a nostalgic, over the top music video directed by Devin Zamora (Like Roses). 

“We were loading out at an obscure little venue in Crockett, California called Toot’s Tavern, and over the speakers while we were lugging our Marshall’s out the door we heard the song and we all started dancing. It was the energy and dark catchiness of the song that made us all go…wait…,”Should we cover this?” almost as a joke…then that joke turned into us coming up with a Details-ified version of the song that we have played at almost every show since. Crowds liked it so much that we ended up teaming up with our longtime producer & mixing engineer Jacob Light to record it at ModernTone Studios in Lafayette, California.” (vocalist & guitarist Tess Stevens)
